This facility is meant for finishing lambs housing. The building has a central area meant for feeding the animals, and on each side there are modular pens. Animals are housed on accumulated straw litter.
Facility
Holding Pen
Institut de l'elevage (IDELE)
Country
France

This facility is a 650 m² holding pen that is used for several interventions on the animals, such as shearing, weighing, and health interventions. Animals enter from one side and are parked in a waiting area. Then they can be sorted and directed in different ways to the devices needed for the planned intervention.
Facility
Pasture
Institut de l'elevage (IDELE)
Country
France

Mainly grouped around the building, this facility is composed of 42% of permanent meadow and 58% of temporary meadow. Most of it is grazed by the animals, and a progressive automation of the water troughs is ongoing.
Infrastructure
Le Mourier
Institut de l'elevage (IDELE)
Country
France

Located 25 km south of Limoges (Haute-Vienne, France), the site covers 95 ha, all grassland, half of which is permanent meadow. 700 ewes are raised on the farm; half of them are of the Mouton Vendéen breed, and the other half are of the F1 type (Ile de France crossed with the Romanov breed). The farm is equipped with a 2500 m² sheepfold and a 650 m² holding pen combined with a shearing room. France's first ovine Digiferme® (since 2017), Le Mourier is developing precision breeding to help sheep farmers improve their working conditions and income, as well as flock performance. Thus, the coordinated use of automation to relieve breeders of physical tasks, sensors to measure parameters on the animals, and satellite images to analyse grass stocks are digital innovations implemented and tested on the DIGIFERME® of Le Mourier. Here are just a few examples of the technologies tested: - Ultra-high-frequency loops for reading animal movements in the herd. - Connected self-weighing scales for live monitoring of animal performance and health. - 3D imaging prototypes to assess the body condition of ewes and lambs. - Virtual fences to geolocate and guide animals in grazing areas. The Mourier experimental farm is also the headquarters of CIIRPO (Interregional Centre for Information and Research on Ovine Production). A true network for research and demonstration in the sheep breeding sector, it brings together 70 member structures, including experimental sites, agricultural high school farms, producers' organisations, chambers of agriculture, sheep unions, health protection groups, etc.

Infrastructure
Parc Agrobiotech Lleida
Parc Científic i Tecnològic Agroalimentari de Lleida
Country
Spain

This comprehensive infrastructure supports a wide range of activities, focusing on technologies and sustainability within agriculture. Key facilities at Parc AgroBioTech include AGROTECNIO, a leading centre for agricultural technology innovation, and the Planta Piloto de Tecnología Alimentaria, which offers pilot-scale testing for food technology. The park is also home to FRUITCENTRE-IRTA, a specialised centre for fruit technology, and the Agroliving Lab, which provides practical environments for agricultural research and development. Additionally, the park features the Centro de Innovación Digital Agroalimentario y Forestal de Catalunya (CIDAF CAT) and BioHub Cat, pivotal for advancing digital agri-food technologies and bioeconomy initiatives. The infrastructure includes the Campus Agroalimentario, which houses AGROTECNIO and the Botanical Garden Arboretum, providing both research and educational opportunities in agriculture. The Gardeny Campus serves as the main hub, offering technological firms, advanced R&D services, and business incubators. The park's facilities are further supported by dedicated spaces for innovation, including equipped laboratories, technology service platforms, and specialised rooms for demonstrations and training. Through these facilities and services, Parc AgroBioTech plays a crucial role in driving technological advancements and fostering sustainable practices in the agri-food sector, aligning with the goals of the AgriFoodTEF project.
